Bridger Ruyle is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Civil and Urban Engineering at the NYU Tandon School of Engineering. His research focuses on the intersection of human activity, the biosphere, and climate change, particularly as they affect water quality. The Ruyle lab develops analytical tools to quantify chemical contamination in environmental media, taking into account the associated uncertainties. His work also emphasizes understanding the biogeochemical impacts of fluorinated chemicals, specifically per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), on environmental systems. By integrating in-situ remote sensing data, Ruyle aims to assess the impacts of climate change on water quality. His research interests include aquatic contaminant biogeochemistry, climate impacts on water quality, analytical chemistry, and mechanistic statistical modeling.
